beggar prince

Chapter 5 The grace of saving lives

Tonight is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and beggars are begging along the street together.Lin Heng walked unsteadily at the end, he was so hungry that a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, his legs and feet couldn't control, he couldn't keep up with the puppy and the others, and passed out in the snow.

The moon of sixteen is rounder than that of fifteen.The golden moon hangs in the sky, huge, round and bright.It happened that the snow spread like cotton wool, and the snow and moon blended together, turning the world into a white night.

Crackling firecrackers sounded, and groups of young children ran wildly on the snow, holding candied haws and lanterns, beaming with joy.

Lin Heng was awakened by a child's foot, and he got up and sat shivering in the snowdrift.His cheeks and fingers were covered with snow.

He was frozen stiff, the breath he exhaled was cold, and his brain was numbly aching.

There was a loud noise in Lin Heng's stomach, reminding him that he must find something to eat, at least have a full meal before freezing to death.

Lin Heng struggled to stand up, walked up to the group of children, and bowed again and again: "Young Master, let me stutter."

The child didn't hear his words clearly, and ran away laughing.Lin Heng sighed in disappointment, rolled and crawled in the snow until he reached the main street.

This cold day is the last day of the New Year's Eve. Pedestrians are rushing home for the festival, and no one pays attention to a little beggar.

A group of porters came rushing towards Lin Heng carrying the sedan chairs. Lin Heng had no time to dodge, and was kicked by the porters.

Lin Heng held his breath in his chest and fell down.The bearers walked away, and it was too late for Lin Heng to ask for an explanation.

Lin Heng couldn't bear the pain in his heart and couldn't move. When he was lying in the snow with a cup of tea, he became colder and colder, as if he was in an ice cave. Cold sweat broke out all over his body, and his eyes suddenly went black.

The cold gradually disappeared, and suddenly the ground became very warm, as warm as summer. He saw his adoptive mother hugging him, and saw himself lying alone in the snow, and then saw himself eating a plate of steaming ribs .

Still later, he was dizzy and felt very comfortable. He knew that he was going to die in the chaos, and he couldn't help laughing.

A gust of cold wind hit, his eyes caught light spots, he seemed to be sitting on a small boat, swaying.

There was another burst of coldness on his body, which went straight to the bone marrow, and he realized that someone was rubbing his body with snow.He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a little boy, wearing a smooth black fur cape, squatting beside him with an umbrella, the little boy looked at him with concern.

His peach eyes look like Zhao Yuanjian.

He knelt down and took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe the snow off Lin Heng's head. Lin Heng wanted to dirty his handkerchief, and he couldn't afford to pay for a handkerchief of this material.

Zhao Yuanjian continued to wipe it down for him, the brocade handkerchief was black as if stained with coal, but he didn't mind it.

Zhao Yuanjian saw a cluster of moles of the Big Dipper on the waist of the little beggar.This beggar is the former prince Xiao Heng who the queen mother and father have been looking for for five years.

Lin Heng's body gradually warmed up, and his breathing was steady.Zhao Yuanjian asked the coachman to pick up Lin Heng and put him on the carriage.

Lin Heng fell into a deep sleep.

When Lin Heng woke up, he found that he had changed into a green leather jacket, and his body was also clean. Someone had bathed him.He was lying in a small room with a fire burning under the kang, which was very warm.

There are three purple flower porcelain bowls on the round table, and there are soup, porridge, and a large white flour steamed bun in the bowls.

There was a thunderous bang in Lin Heng's stomach.He had a yellow runny nose and phlegm in his throat.He spat, wiped his nose on his sleeve, and jumped out of bed.He drank two mouthfuls of porridge, stuffed a steamed bun in three or two mouthfuls, and drank the soup again.

He carefully licked the porcelain bowl clean, and ate up the dregs of steamed buns that fell on the table.He burped for a while when he was full, and clutched his bulging belly contentedly.

Lin Heng became alert. He wondered what kind of place this is. Could it be that he was bought again? Who was the person who wiped his sweat yesterday? Was it Zhao Yuanjian?He made a small hole in the paper on the window and looked outside. There were rockery and plum blossoms, like the courtyard of a rich family.

He decided to investigate further.As soon as he went out, he saw a little maid in crimson clothes, and he saluted, "Where is sister here?"

The little maid looked at him in fear, and she recognized this limping, thin monster with white hair as the little beggar who was carried back yesterday.She was terrified looking at his sarcoma.She said: "This is the Zhao Mansion. The young master rescued you yesterday. Hurry up and thank the young master."

Lin Heng thought that no matter good or bad, he saved his life, so he deserves thanks.The little maid led him to a mansion.

Lin Heng was froze yesterday and was weak. As soon as he entered the door, he tripped and fell on the steps, which left him with tears and snot.

He saw some fairy-like sisters doing embroidery around the rosewood table, and some sisters were writing on the table.

When they saw Lin Heng tripping, they covered their mouths and laughed.

Lin Heng felt that the atmosphere in this mansion was very different from that in Qin Mansion.He wiped the remaining snot with his sleeve, stood up and bowed and said, "I made my sisters laugh."

When they saw his face, they gasped. The doll looked terrible.

The little maid led Lin Heng to the west wing, and he walked through the fan-shaped carved sandalwood frame into the west wing.The room is elegant, with purple curtains hanging on the windows, two pictures of landscapes and green pines hanging on the wall, and several pots of green pines and beautiful bamboos in front of the door.A set of rosewood tables and chairs is leaning against the wall.

In the center of the room, there are two flower-sprinkled curtains hanging on the pillars at both ends. Under the pillars is a red sandalwood table with brushes, ink, paper and inkstones placed on the table.

A handsome young man was sitting behind the desk, wearing a green robe embroidered with bamboo patterns.He is sipping genuine tea, holding a book and looking at it carefully, elegant and handsome.Sunlight shone in from the hollowed-out wooden window, and the young man was glowing with light.

There is a purple gold lotus incense burner in front of him, and the purple gold petals are scattered.The censer spits out faint purple smoke and bursts of azalea fragrance.

Lin Heng thought this is the legendary fairy, right?The young man's eyes were clear, and he looked over without any scheming, which made Lin Heng's messy heart hang, and he recognized that it was the son who brought him food a few days ago.

Lin Heng walked over, and he said excitedly, "Brother Immortal, you really saved me!"

Zhao Yuanjian raised his head and looked at him with concern: "It's me. I went to look for you yesterday. I saw you were lying in the snow and was freezing to death, so I hurriedly brought you back. Are you better?"

"I'm full, Brother Immortal. I've almost starved to death these days. It's so f*cking frustrating. We can't ask for anything, not even a single grain of rice."

Lin Heng walked up to Zhao Yuanjian, knelt down and kowtowed, thinking about the words in the storytelling: "Brother Zhao, you should be repaid by the spring for saving your life. When I saw you, I thought you were like a fairy. You are a fairy descended from the world. I fell in love with you at first sight, how about you and I marry Jinlan and become brothers of the opposite sex?"

The maid in the room covered her mouth and smiled, and Zhao Yuanjian also laughed, thinking that this is how ordinary people thank their benefactors, and the prince also learned this way among the people.

Lin Heng just stood up, thinking that his posture might be weird, causing everyone to laugh, and he quickly cupped his hands: "Bo Jun smiles, Bo Jun smiles."

Zhao Yuanjian: "You don't have to. You even gave me back the jade I lost. That piece of jade is very important. Get up quickly."

The boy asked, "How old are you?"

Lin Heng: "Nine years old."

Zhao Yuanjian smiled and said, "I am two years older than you."

Lin Heng made a bow: "Brother's kindness, younger brother will never be able to repay it in a lifetime."

At this time, Lin Heng's stomach growled again, and he clutched his belly in embarrassment.

Zhao Yuanjian smiled: "You can rest here for a few days to nourish your body."

Lin Heng thanked him. He walked to the chair next to Zhao Yuanjian, stepped on it with one foot, jumped up with one leg, sat on the chair, put his arms on the handle, raised his legs, and tilted his head. , showing his usual ruffian expression.

Zhao Yuanjian and the maids laughed again seeing him like this.

Zhao Yuanjian said: "I still have something to do, you go and rest."

Lin Heng puffed out his chest and backed out swaggeringly.He went back to the cabin and lay down and fell asleep.

When Lin Heng woke up, he thought Mr. Zhao was too kind. Without him, he would have reported to the underworld last night.

It was dark in the evening, and the two servants pushed open the door.Bring a food box and put it on the table.After the servants opened the food box, they brought out a bowl of chicken soup. The soup was very bland and had no oil on it. Some coriander and green onion were sprinkled on it, followed by a plate of green vegetables, which were fried to the right heat, green and crisp.Later, a small porridge and some snacks were brought out.The servants left after setting the dishes and chopsticks.

Lin Heng picked up the dim sum, smelled it, and the smell of plum blossoms came to his nostrils. He said in surprise, "Is it made of plum blossoms?" Putting down the dim sum, he grabbed a chicken leg, licked it carefully, and then opened his mouth to swallow it. .
